Offense

QUARTERBACK

Hayes Nolte (6-4, 230, Sr.)

The skinny: Big and mobile, Nolte is one of the premier quarterbacks in the Inter-Ac League. Can hurt a defense with his arm or feet. Getting Division I-AA interest but might opt for lacrosse in college.

The skinny: Family tradition continues as Eric Corliss starts in backfield just like his brother Keith did in 2011. Anthony will provide speed at tailback while Corliss will operate inside with his strength. Calhoun is a La Salle transfer who will also see carries.

“You have to watch out for GA. Their coach has them going in the right direction.”

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES

The Patriots have some of the top skill positions players in the Inter-Ac. Nolte-to-Donahue was a great combination last year. If GA can get an effective running game, the offense becomes even more dangerous. The team’s lack of success in league play can be wearing. The Patriots have not won a league game in three years despite having good pre-season records.

HEADLINE GRABBER

Senior Patrick Cawley will anchor the middle. No longer doing double duty on the offensive line, the 6-foot, 215-pound middle linebacker has a nose for the ball. He was among the top tacklers in the league last year.

UP AND COMER

Cliff David came back for his senior year bigger, faster and stronger. Dence plans to use his size and speed on offense as an H-Back and on defense is a returning starter on the line.
